02:48 pm - Say What?All right, it's Sunday. Let's play a game. Not the screencap game, since that's way too much trouble for me. Instead, you are going to identify lines from television shows. Name the show and the character who said it. For at least one, the line may have simply been text on the screen. No television show will be used more than once. If you figure out a few, you may get some hints for the others. The person who gets the most right (no cheating!) wins...nothing. Unless you have some deep desire for me to write about something, then maybe I'll humor your request. I'm too lazy to screen comments, so you're on your honor, guys. I won't strike out the ones that have been guessed: just try them all without looking first. Then feel free to keep trying if no one else has commented with the right answer. Or even if they have. Everyone have fun! There are no losers here! Only winners...who haven't won...yet.

1. "Me? Well, let me tell you something about normal people like me. They just wish they were special, like you."

2. "That's the plan? Walking real quick was the plan?"

3. "Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven completely different chords."

4. "But you're well proportioned, that counts for something."

5. "This is where I felt it the first time: the universe was cocking the Fuck-With-Me Gun."

6. "Because it honestly believes they should die. Human beings are different, and anything different is wrong. It's the ultimate in racial cleansing, and you, Van Statten, you've let it loose!"

13. "You know, in ancient Persia, the kings would kill a messenger who brought them news they didn't like. In modern times a sword in the chest might seem a little extreme. Something more subtle would be in order. Enjoying your drink?"

Comments:

Wait. Is #20 from "Cupid"? I saw the pilot a couple of weeks ago and I think that's where I saw the line. Uhmm, said by the Paula Marshall character (Claire?) to Jeremy Piven during the initial interview? *flails*

WHAT is the Wonderfalls line? It's driving me nuts. By the process of elimination, I think it's gotta be either #12 or #16. Man, #16 is such a Jaye line. Or a Lorelai line.

#1, I'm gonna guess, is from Lost. No idea who. But there's gotta be a Lost quote there somewhere.

#20 is not from Cupid, though there is a Cupid line. I don't think you've seen the show, actually.

The WF line is not 12 nor 16, and 16 is neither Jaye nor Lorelai. In fact, the character is male. So is the character for 12.

#1 is—FUCK! I totally forgot to include Lost. I knew I was forgetting a show! Oh shit, I—I won't mention any other shows I forgot to include, since it will help throw other people off. D'oh. So dumb am I. #1 is not really a line I would have chosen myself, but it was hard to find quotes for this show on Google. Not that's it's obscure. Just relatively new, and not much of a fandom. It's from the first season, last summer.

Someone guessed about 4400 already. #4 must be from Cupid, and I'm gonna say it was said by Trevor, since I only know Trevor and Claire. And #12 must be Oz, since you've been obsessed with it for a while and it's in the right spot. I don't know about the character though.
